Rebinding commands that start with C-x and M-x

Rebinding commands that start with C-x and M-x

Hello,





I am an Emacs user who types on a non-standard keyboard. On
the keyboard I use it is difficult to issue commands that begin with C-x and
M-x, because the "x" key is difficult to reach while holding down Ctrl or Alt. It would be much more convenient if all such commands began with, say, C-c
and M-c or perhaps with C-l or M-l, because these keys are much easier to reach. How do I rebind all of these commands to be
invoked with a different keystroke? 

Thank you,





Sincerely, 

Corey Foote

For "C-x" you can do something like this:

   ;; additional "C-x" for a Dvorak keyboard layout
   (global-set-key (kbd "C-z") ctl-x-map)

The key combination "M-x" is bound to `execute-extended-command' by
default.  You can bind this command to any other key you want.
